Key Fobs and Wrist Straps for Key Rings

A handcrafted key fob or a key ring wristlet makes it easy and beautiful to find keys in a large purse or tote.

A wristlet can also be used to help keep track of keys in a busy household or workplace.

A delightful add-on accessory for a handcrafted bag or tote, our key fob and key ring wristlets can be included with a greeting card, used as a group or team gift, hung from a bottle or tucked into a Christmas stocking.

They can even be attached to a key for a new home or a new vehicle.

A handcrafted key fob is perfect for Secret Santa gifts, teacher and coach gifts. I will gladly find a "perfect fabric" to match the interests, hobbies and aesthetic preferences of the person who will cherish it. I like to change my key ring wristlet with the seasons and holidays - why not create a four-piece "set" using seasonal fabrics?

This is a lovely, affordable project with lots of opportunities for customization. We can use one or two fabrics, add a sweet charm or sparkle for a little something extra.

Clematis Wristlet

The Bespoke Clematis Wristlet is very popular for gift giving. This beautiful wristlet/clutch can be used by itself, for essentials (wallet, keys, lip balm, tissues) or it can be used to organize small items in a larger bag, a locket or even a car. More than once, I have made this to match a tote and created a beautiful, coordinating set.

Contact me today to discuss a beautiful, custom-made Clematis Wristlet.

The feature fabric for the top front and back of the Clematis Wristlet can be cork, a home decor fabric, quilt cotton or a canvas. Usually, I recommend a vibrant print but there are no “rules.” You can use anything that appeals to you.

Once you choose a beautiful feature fabric for this bag, you will want to consider the base. The base can be made with fabric (possibly denim, canvas or twill), vinyl, faux leather, home decor fabric, or cork.

Together, we also select the zipper color and the hardware. The hardware for this wristlet includes rivets, a swivel hook/lobster clasp, a D or O ring, and a “Handmade” label that we coordinate with the zipper.

One option, to consider with the Clematis Wristlet, is enlarging it by 15% and adding a crossbody strap. This is what I did with the sea urchin, and sea star fabric titled Looking for Sea Life by Stof Fabrics. When we enlarge by 15%, it measures approximately 6.5″ from top to bottom, 11 inches from side to side and 3 inches from front to back.

The lovely and versatile Clematis Wristlet was designed by Ontario-based, Blue Calla Patterns.

In the Clematis Wristlet gallery –

The gleaming purple and pink wristlet features Artisan Spirit Shimmer fabric designed by Deborah Edwards for Northcott. For this bag, I used striking gold vinyl and added gold rivets and a fun, handcrafted, beaded tassel.

The blue and yellow shark-theme fabric is by Sevenberry (Japan). I coordinated it with a navy blue vinyl by Spradling.

The charcoal grey, cocktail theme Clematis Wristlet was made with fabric designed by Tara Reed for Ink & Arrow. I used a gleaming gold home decor fabric for the base.

The Autumn-theme wristlet is made with a V.I.P. print from Cranston Print Works with black canvas for the base.

The Clematis Wristlet I was commissioned to make for a compassionate veterinarian features “Must Love Dogs” by Ginger Oliphant for Studio E Fabrics. I paired it with black canvas and also made a coordinating Sheridan Tote.

The hummingbird fabric I used for the teal wristlet is by Quilting Treasures. It necessitated some careful cutting and adjustments to the pattern.

The pretty green floral Clematis Wristlet is made with “Marguerite” by Ellen Crimi-Trent for Clothworks. It is lined with a pretty, pink and white stripe coordinating fabric. The base is purple faux leather.

The teal, navy, grey, and salmon fabric is “Fish Hope” designed by Hoodie Crescent for Paintbrush Studio Fabrics. The base is a lovely, woven, home decor fabric.

The scarlet red poppy-theme bag was commissioned as a birthday gift for historian and author, Linda Granfield. Ms. Granfield has written extensively about John McCrae and In Flanders Fields.

The fabric for the turquoise cat and kitten Clematis Wristlet was designed by Tracy Lizotte for Elizabeth’s Studio. The sweet “Meow” lining is by Camelot Design Studio.

The road trip theme wristlet was made to coordinate with a Clydebank Tote. It is by Dan DiPaolo for Clothworks.

The glimmering Tomato Tossed Cat fabric features rich jewel tones. It is from the Feline Frolic collection by Laurel Burch Studios.

The eye-catching sea turtle and turquoise crossbody Clematis features a print from the Dan Morris’ fabric collection, “Oceana” for Quilting Treasures. We used a gorgeous zipper from Blue Calla and silver finish oval spring hook rings. This crossbody bag is 15% larger and 1″ deeper (top to bottom) vs the wristlet.

Pricing is determined by fabric choices and customization.
